"Light and Shadows"
Image was taken in Arrecife, Lanzarote in November light. The image was interesting in colour but making the image monochromatic gave the image a more dramatic feel.
"Supporting Shoulder"
Image taken in November sunlight in Valencia, Spain. The woman using her stick in her left hand and using her partner's shoulder for support was quite touching. The contrasting light and shadow made exposure quite difficult.
"Blackford Pond"
A composition of 3 images of Blackford Pond, developed in Photoshop and using a filter from the Distressed FX app.

Joyce Aranuwa
"Into Silence"
Into Silence reflects the uncertainty of moving through life without knowing where the journey will lead. The road gradually disappears into shadow, resisting the promise of a visible destination. It speaks about trust, vulnerability, and the quiet courage required to continue forward when certainty is absent. Rather than offering answers, the image invites us to sit with the unknown and recognise that some paths reveal themselves only as we walk them.
Joyce Aranuwa is a Nigerian multidisciplinary artist and photographer based in Nottingham, United Kingdom. Her practice explores identity, memory and the relationship between people and their environments through photography, visual storytelling and digital art.

"I am self-taught photographer with sharp eye for details and a curious explorer looking for my own style. Regardless of naming, I simply want to be defined through the prism of my mobile photo’s because a day without a Photo is a day lost. That’s why I am trying to repaint my daily reality pixel per pixel again. Already as a child, I was fascinated by the structured world of the various blocks. Among all those repeating patterns and geometrical figures, I was always able to find my inner peace. That’s why, continuously day by day, my passion into each, next undiscovered buildings structures was born. My style is a mishmash of many different approaches an techniques, often overlapping each other. Whatever the photo subject is you can always expect some geometrical patterns and forms composed in – kind of my photographic signature of finished artwork."

“Retrospectieve”
"If I were asked what of photography moments I love most? I would answer that those one, which tell stories. Where reality faces the fiction ready to capture not because I saw it in my head, but because I had the chance to see the beautiful narrative even really before It happend. In all submitted photos from my series City Pattern I wanted to explore the apparent divergence between Portrait / Landscape, not because I am assure of differences but because I do feel that both cannot exist without each other. Metaphorical seen all the windows captures of my conceptual architecture shots have story to tell. Even if you are not able to see any portrait of human element but you can definitely feel the vibes vibrating into you every time you admire the urban landscape view."

Thomas Fearn
Thomas Fearn is a wildlife and landscape photographer based in Hampshire, working mostly at the edges of the day when the light turns the ordinary briefly strange. He photographs across the south of England and beyond, favouring quiet, patient images: still water at first light, birds holding the air, a horizon handed over to the last of the sun. "Drifting at Sunset" is part of that body of work — a lone figure carried out across a burning sky, small against the weather we all live under. His prints are held in private collections and sold through several galleries and print platforms.
“Drifting at Sunset”
A paraglider hangs against a molten evening sky while a lone horse grazes the ridgeline below; two small figures sharing the last warm light of the day.
